A historic village in Dayton
One of Ohio’s largest historic villages, South Park is currently experiencing a shift as its picturesque buildings and streets become the new homes of younger generations and their families. “It leans toward younger people who want a strong sense of community,” says Holly DiFlora, an agent with The Home Group Realty who’s worked toward the revitalization of South Park since 2006. “Along with walkability and access to the restaurants and theatres downtown.” In recent years, these factors, combined with civic pride and the steady renovation of historic homes, have transformed South Park into a community that seamlessly blends old-world sophistication with modern style.
Restored 19th century homes
A walk down the streets of South Park offers a multicolored glimpse into Dayton’s past, with rows upon rows of restored turn-of-the-century houses lining the grid of crisscrossed streets. “The majority of the buildings were built in the late 1800s,” says DiFlora. “So you’re going to see mostly Victorian homes.” Well-maintained sidewalks are ubiquitous in the area, helping to establish South Park’s reputation as a highly walkable neighborhood into downtown Dayton. The tree-lined walkways provide a verdant, cheerful sensibility that encourages strolls and dog-walking within the community. Though many of the homes have been restored and rejuvenated over the years, some properties will still require some TLC before they’re ready for residents. A Stick Style home needing complete restoration will start in the mid-$50,000s, while a cozy bungalow can run in the low-$100,000s. A fully restored, two-story Victorian can hit the low-$300,000s.
Just one of the many beautiful cottage style homes nestled in South Park.
This home is just one of the design treasures found in the South Park area.

ParksCivic pride at Blommel Park
Burns Jackson Park is a popular public space for neighborhood and after-school sports, featuring a baseball diamond, basketball court, soccer field and much more. Located in the center of town, Blommel Park is equipped with swings, a volleyball net, and playground equipment that the residents are currently upgrading. “That’s a great example of how active this community is,” says DiFlora. “The city made a few upgrades, but the people wanted more. So they started a fundraiser and made it happen.”
